| Resumo: | Smokers, who generally present with lung damage, are more anxious than non-smokers and have an associated augmented risk of panic. Considering that lung damage signals specific neural pathways that are related to affective responses, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the influence of pulmonary injury on anxiety and panic-like behaviours in animals exposed to cigarette smoke with and without tobacco. Male Wistar rats were divided into the following groups: a control group (CG); a regular cigarette group (RC); and a tobacco-free cigarette (TFC) group. Animals were exposed to twelve cigarettes per day for eight consecutive days. The animals were then exposed to an elevated T-maze and an open field. The RC and TFC groups presented increases in inflammatory cell inflow, antioxidant enzyme activity, and TBARS levels, and a decrease in the GSH/GSSG ratio was observed in the TFC group. Exposure to RC smoke reduced anxiety and panic-related behaviours. On the other hand, TFC induced anxiety and panic-related behaviours. Thus, our results contradict the concept that nicotine is solely accountable for shifted behavioural patterns caused by smoking, in that exposure to TFC smoke causes anxiety and panic-related behaviours. |
| Resumo em outra língua: | Cigarette smoke exposure is associated with anxiety states. Smokers are more anxious than non-smokers1, while cigarette smoking cessation is associated with increased levels of anxiety and stress, as the nicotine in cigarettes has been shown to have anxiolytic effects2. Moreover, smoking is also associated with an augmented risk of panic attacks, and quitting smoking could help reduce this risk3. Importantly, in a study conducted by Amaring and colleagues, it was reported that 72% of panic disorder patients declared that they were regular smokers at the onset of their disease4. Cigarette smoke is also one of the several agents and environmental factors that can trigger oxidative stress and pulmonary damage5. Cigarette smoke causes cellular recruitment, lipid peroxidation, production of inflammatory mediators, and oxidative stress6–11. For instance, studies in mice have shown that exposure to short-term cigarette smoke evokes an increase in inflammatory cell inflow and oxidative damage6,9. In general, exposure to pollutants induces pulmonary inflammation through the generation of oxidative stress12,13, defined as the imbalance in reactive oxygen species production, to the detriment of the antioxidant defence systems14. Importantly, exposure to ambient air particles not only induces pulmonary inflammation but also behavioural disorders both in humans and in mice15. Currently, the majority of anxiety studies associated with cigarette smoking have focused on the anxiolytic effects of nicotine2. However, it has been shown that lung damage can induce central nervous system responses by activating specific neuronal pathways16,17, which include those linked to affective responses, such as anxiety and panic18. This raises the question of whether the anxiety and panic-type behaviour associated with smoking might be related not only to the nicotine or to tobacco’s other constituents but also to lung damage. |
